Course Information

GD&T Basics

Learners will be able to:

Describe the differences between coordinate tolerancing and GD&T.
Identify datum planes, points, and axis on a part drawing and know how to use a datum.
Read and interpret feature control frames.

About This Course

Precision parts require precision measurements and that starts with knowing how to read blueprints and engineering drawings so that the proper measurements can be taken.

In this course, learners will be introduced to key terms used in metrology and GD&T and how to read and interpret basic engineering drawing and GD&T symbols.
